Three low-power MEMS micro-accelerometers were designed, the first with variable distance and the last with variable area. Then, electrostatic analysis and simulation by the finite element method was performed to show its behavior and performance. In the simulation and analysis the software COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS 5.1 was used. The results show that the variable area micro-accelerometer exhibits the best relationship between behavior and performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
